RFXtrx

[b_weijenberg]

The receiver has port 10001 and the RFXmitter port 10002.

An RFXLAN with an RFXCOM Ethernet interface can be flashed with xPL firmware.
The older RFXCOM LAN with a Lantronix controller cannot be flashed with other firmware than Lantronix TCP/IP firmware.

(Shorter path in homeseer )

And you should actually be very happy that you are not longer in that path, check the post above regarding the user that already has the RFXmeter up and running in EG. The nice EG python scripts he has written for the calculations. You will need them, eventually after a slight modification. This type of calculation is not possible in SK, maybe in HS. But with the combination EG -> SK data sources will give you a very nice graphic statistics.

Ahh ok. My rfxlan has the lantronix..
I now have the RFXcom device available in xPL. But all this with the plugins through xPL, and EG scripts, it will only give me 1 way communication with rfxcom? I cannot get SK to send commands to the RFXlan?

Yes, one way only, that is a limitation with SK. If someone would develop a two-way xPL plugin for SK or some other methods to send out commands from SK, the picture would change.

I have added some new actions to the plugin to allow you to control dimming of lamps in steps during a configurable snooze time. It is getting popular with so called wake-up lamps and here is a variant you could use (I call them Good Morning and Good Night).

It works like this:

You define the lamp control action and set a snooze time. Then when the action is triggered it will automatically dim the lamp in delayed steps during the snooze time (the action calculates the number of steps and each dim level required to cover the snooze time). The action can be triggered by any type of event when it is put into a macro.

Please be aware that not all devices supports absolute dim levels (Nexa selflearning dimmers does).

Is there anyone else who had problems with your Nexa wall switches "WST-512" after changing the firmware in rfxcom transceiver? when I use RFXtrx433_42 it works perfectly, but when I load the new versions RFXtrx433_46 or RFXtrx433_47 it will not find it , but it works on other switches.

Yes, I have also just noticed a similar problem with ver 47. I have some old SYCT-407 (very handy though) that worked fine in ver 46 but not in 47. In 47 however, group commands can be sent and are working.
My TMT-502 is also working fine in 47 as well as in 46 before.

Flashing and re-flashing back and forth to identify where and what the problem is,,,,

Firmware version 48 is more sensitive for ARC remotes that operate a bit outside the standard.
To receive those ARC remotes you have to disable the FineOffset/Viking protocols!

[krambriw]

v48 is working excellent with ARC and AC

Thanks, Best regards

[krambriw]

New version compliant with FW version 48 is posted in first post.

[Pallantir]

I us both ARC and a bunch of Viking temperature probes. Does that mean that I'll have to stay on earlier firmware to keep that? I'm running 44 at home and 46 at the cabin, and I don't dare to mess with it now that I finally have both those code wheel remotes and the Viking temperature sensors working...

[krambriw]

Yes, might be an issue, you'd better wait for a comment from Bert.

The plugin should however work with both of your firmware versions as well (except for the functions depending on new features added in fw 48 of course).

Best regards, Walter

[Pallantir]

OK, thanks. Then I can update that, at least.

Hi Walter,

Firs thank you for the grat plugin, I have changed Tellstick dou with RFX so that I can use my temperature/humidity sensors.
Now I have managed to extract the data that I need, but to put it in use I need your help.

Log looks like this:

RFXtrx.Type: La Crosse TX3 id: 17920 ' humidity: 41 %RH status: comfort signal: 8 battery: 9'
Python Script humidity
Python Script
humidity: 41
status: comfort
signal: 8
battery: 9
RFXtrx.Type: La Crosse TX3, TX4, TX17 id: 17920 ' temperature: +26.9 deg C signal: 8 battery: 9'
Python Script temperature
Python Script
temperature: +26.9
signal: 8
battery: 9
System.Idle

How can I put this in use, I need an script that will print info to control my airconditioner and heaters, fans. So for example: if teperature higher than 25 than print : "turn AC on", if temerature lower than 22 than print "turn AC off"... if humidity: "wet" turn fan on. And so on.

Thanks so much for your help.
